Stuff Just Keeps Happening

Well, I love my job! O.K. I know I've only been there two days but it is just wonderful. Dr. Principal is so sweet. She worked out my schedule so that I can still substitute one day a week if I want to. She said she wanted to give me the opportunity to earn a little extra money. How sweet is she?? And, how good is God to give me a boss like Dr. Principal? All, the teachers are so nice. They have been most helpful and seem so excited to have me in the classrooms.
During the morning, I travel from class to class. I begin my day in 3rd grade classes and then move on to the 4th grades. I assist with the kids who are struggling. So, I'm actually having the opportunity to teach. I'm so excited.
Then, after my lunch break, I go to the kindergarten for the rest of the day. I just love those little guys. And, Mrs. W, the teacher is such a good Christian. We had the best discussion today about our favorite Bible teachers and books we've read. We have so much in common, we are already good friends. Also, I've discovered that many of the teachers and staff throughout the school are Christians. The teacher's lounge is always abuzz about church events and Bible studies. It is just a great place to work.
I am praising, praising, praising!

Then, there is a little bit of other stuff going on. My bff, Lezley may be moving away. Notice, may be moving. Her husband is a regional manager for a credit company and was offered a position in Louisville, Kentucky. That is 6 1/2 hours away. They went there Monday for the interview. Brian said it went very well and he should know something by next Monday. If he is offered and takes the position, they have to be in Louisville by December 1st.
I'm having a little bit of trouble wrapping my mind around the whole thing. You see, Lezley and I have been friends for about 4 years, but it feels as if we have been friends all our lives. We are as different as night and day - but we compliment each other. We are sisters and I love her dearly. She is such a rock for me. But, there are so many good things for thier family if this move happens. Money, for one. Brian will be making more money - we all know how handy that can be. And, Lezley wants to go to Asbury Seminary, which is close to Louisville.
I hope and pray for the best for them and I'm especially praying for God's will to be done. But, the selfish part of me really wants them to stay.
But, I have to wonder if God has provided me with this fantastic new job to help me get through if they do move. I mean, my God is such and awesome God and He loves me so much that He doesn't want me to hurt. So, it makes sense that He would be preparing me ahead of time to make the transition easier.
So, for now, we wait - and pray - and know that God is Good all the time!
